[E] [F#m]
It’s bringing me down, I'm running aground,
[D] [A] [E]
Blind in the light of the interstate cars
[E] [F#m]
Passing me by, the busses and semi's,
[D] [A] [E] 🫠
Plunging like stones from a slingshot on mars
[A] [D]
But I'm here by the road, bound to the load
[Bm] [E] 🫠
That I picked up in ten thousand cafes and bars
[A] [D]
Alone with the rush of the drivers who won't pick me up
[Bm] [E] 🫠
The highway, the moon, the clouds, and the stars
[D] / / [ C#m] / [A] /
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in
[A] / / [Em] / [C] / [A] /
With its words of a life where nothing is new
[D] / [C#m] [A] [Em] / [A] /
Ah, mother american night, I'm lost from the light
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
Oh, I'm drowning in you
{INTRO}
[E] [F#m]
I left St. Louis, city of blues,
[D] [A] [E]
in the midst of a storm I'd rather forget
[E] [F#m]
I tried to pretend it came to an end
[D] [A] [E] 🫠
Cause you weren't the woman I once thought I'd met
[A] [D]
But I can't deny, that times have gone by
[Bm] [E] 🫠
Where I never had doubts or thoughts of regret
[A] [D]
And I was a man when all this began
[Bm] [E] 🫠
Who wouldn't think twice about being there yet
[D] / / [ C#m] / [ A] /
Black throated wind, whispering sin
[A] / / [Em] / [C] / [A] /
And it speaks of a life that passes like dew
[D] / [C#m] [A] [Em] / [A] /
It's forced me to see that you've done better by me
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
Better by me than I've done by you
{INTRO}
[E] [F#m]
Now what's to be found racing around.
[D] [A] [E]
You carry your pain wherever you go
[E] [F#m]
All full of the blues and trying to lose
[D] [A] [E] 🫠
You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know
[A] [D]
So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies
[Bm] [E] 🫠
Please help them to learn as well as to see
[A] [D]
Capture a glance, and make it dance
[Bm] [E] 🫠
Of looking at you, looking at me
[D] / / [ C#m] / [ A] /
Black throated wind, keeps on pouring in
[A] / / [Em] / [C] / [A] /
With its words of a lie that could almost be true
[D] / [C#m] [A] [Em] / [A] /
Ah, mother american night, here comes the light
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
Going back home that's what I'm gonna do
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
Going back home that's what I'm gonna do
[G] [D] [A] [A] 🫠
Whoaooo I'm drownin (inaudible)
